What March feels like

March is when the island turns green and the year properly wakes up. Wildflowers start in the south and creep north, walking trails dry out, and the first pavement-café afternoons arrive. The sea remains wintry and the weather can still turn, but between fronts you get luminous days made for ruins, coastal paths and quiet towns. Prices and crowds are as low as they get. In Barbagia and the Nuorese the mountains set the tone: shepherd villages, mural-covered Orgosolo and the high Gennargentu.

Cellar doors are quiet and winemakers have time to talk: the best months for Cannonau and Vermentino tastings.
